We would like to announce a computational nuclear physics meeting to be held July 23rd and 24th in Washington DC at the headquarters of SURA (Southeastern Universities Research Association). The meeting will encompass hot and cold lattice QCD, nuclear structure and reactions, astrophysics, and other computational areas of nuclear physics. The objectives are to highlight the accomplishments of this community, to identify outstanding opportunities for computational physics to advance our understanding of nuclear physics, and to identify the resources needed to achieve these advances.
The first morning will comprise science overview talks covering the main thrusts in computational nuclear physics. The afternoon will open with a talk summarizing the salient issues identified in the morning, followed by a general discussion which we expect to include representatives of the funding agencies. We will work in break-out sessions on the second morning, concluding with summaries by each break-out group. The goal is a short, three-to-four page position paper that will highlight the significance of our field at this critical juncture.
Further details of the program and of the logistics
will be announced shortly. In the meantime, please contact David Richards
(dgr@jlab.org) or any of the other
organizers should you have suggestions or wish to contribute.
We look forward to a highly productive event in July.
